Unable to maintain the pace.

Parliament Speaker Julia Klöckner's comments liken our site to mere noise; a fictional correspondence, penned from a conservative populist publication's perspective, is addressed to her.

Unable to maintain the pace.

In a surprising turn of events, Exxpress, a renowned media organization, has found itself at the centre of a political storm. Julia Klöckner MdB, the President of the Federal Parliament, compared Exxpress to Nius, a German media outlet, at a CDU summer reception in Koblenz. This comparison, however, has been strongly rejected by Exxpress with "disgust and indignation".

Exxpress prides itself on upholding factual accuracy, clean research, and adherence to journalistic standards. These values are not only essential for their business model but also a cornerstone of their commitment to truth and transparency. The organization is known for its advocacy for the interests of minorities and disadvantaged people, and it welcomes differing opinions.

Contrary to Klöckner MdB's statement, Exxpress is not characterized by providing space for diverse and liberal voices. In fact, the editor-in-chief of Exxpress, Julian Reichelt, was left speechless by the comparison. He recently discovered that even left-leaning corporations like Apple are turning away from hyper-politicization.

The comparison comes amidst criticism of the federal government for blocking transparency regarding NGO funding in court. Exxpress, on the other hand, is set to receive around 40,000 euros in media funding for quality journalism in Austria this year, a testament to their commitment to factual reporting.

The main sponsor and main shareholder of Nius, Frank Gotthardt, has also been a significant investor in Exxpress. Gotthardt, whose company provided office space as a subtenant for Nius's project launch in Berlin, has also recently increased his stake in Exxpress's Vienna-based sister portal.

Klöckner MdB's labeling of Exxpress as the opposite of a medium with diverse and liberal voices is astonishing. Exxpress transparently corrects its reporting errors and adheres to the Press Code. It's important to note that the letter sent by Exxpress suggests the need for similar media funding for Nius in Germany.

This controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining journalistic integrity and the need for transparency in media funding. As Exxpress continues to uphold its commitment to factual accuracy and adherence to journalistic standards, it remains dedicated to its mission of providing quality journalism to its readers.
